Louisiana Fish Fry
After two unsuccessful tries with other production monitoring tools, Louisiana Fish Fry improved OEE by 12% in nine months with Nulogy Smart Factory.
Download the Case StudyEstablished in 1982, Louisiana Fish Fry is a popular brand of Cajun and Creole fry mixes, sauces and gravy mixes, serving both the retail and foodservice industries.
Not knowing a good day from a bad one
Louisiana Fish Fry needed to know when the plant was having a good day or a bad day in order to improve efficiency and throughput. Two earlier production monitoring tools had not delivered.
The team wanted a visual display tied to the job schedule to help workers track their own progress, and analytics to explain frequent downtime so maintenance crews could prioritize their work.
From the operators all the way up to the VP of Operations, people are looking at Smart Factory either in the dashboard, on the computer, or through the visual factory screens daily.
